West Ham have tabled a £1.2million bid for highly-rated Dijon left-back Samuel Souprayen.

The 23-year-old, a former France Under-21 international, is also able to play at centre back.

Manager Sam Allardyce's bid for the former Rennes defender spells out his intention to bolster his back four ahead of West Ham’s return to the Premier League in August.

Shepherd's Bush Green: QPR expect to land England keeper next week

Mark Hughes is confident of landing England keeper Robert Green on a free transfer next week.

Green will be given special permission to thrash out his future while the out-of-contract former West Ham keeper is on Euro 2012 duty in Polkraine.

QPR are hoping to tie up the deal after carrying out a medical next week once England have played their final group match.

Hughes has been in for various keepers including Green, Birmingham's Ben Foster and Fraser Forster of Newcastle, as last season's first choice Paddy Kenny is set to follow ex-Hoops boss Neil Warnock to Leeds.

Incredibly, the 32-year-old is set to take a pay-cut from the wages he was on at West Ham to around £40,000 a week, although it is believed he will get a big signing-on fee as he's signing on a free.

West Brom have also been after Green, but QPR boss Hughes believes he has won the race for the former England number one who was also a target for Malaga.

QPR snap up England keeper Green on £50k-a-week following West Ham exit




Robert Green is set to join QPR after agreeing a £50,000-a-week deal to move across London.

The England goalkeeper, 32, is a free agent after West Ham refused to meet his pay demands and failed to agree a new contract.


QPR are anxious to bolster their defence after narrowly avoiding relegation last season and opted for Green after briefly considering Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes.

The current No 1 at Loftus Road, Paddy Kenny, looks likely to re-join former boss Neil Warnock at Leeds United.

West Ham set to increase offer to £4m for Norwich striker Holt




West Ham are set to raise their offer for Norwich City striker Grant Holt. Sam Allardyce had a £3.5million bid rejected but will now offer £4m for the 31-year-old.

Allardyce is also keen on a defender, with Dijon’s former France Under 21 centre back Samuel Souprayen, 23, Charlton’s Chris Solly and Newcastle’s Danny Simpson among his targets.

LEYTON: Hearn hits back at 'patronising' West Ham





Leyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn described West Ham's comments as patronising. Leyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn described West Ham's comments as patronising.

LEYTON Orient Chairman Barry Hearn has hit back at rival club West Ham after it mocked his suggestion that the two football teams could share the Olympic stadium after the Games.

The O's fear they will lose fans and go out of business if a high-profile team moves into the arena, which is less than a mile from their current ground in Brisbane Road, Leyton.

In an earlier interview with the Waltham Forest Guardian, Mr Hearn said sharing the stadium in Stratford would be a "lesser of evils" and ensure the survival of Leyton Orient.

But West Ham responded in a statement by saying it was "amused" by Mr Hearn's "ever-changing position".

Mr Hearn previously said the stadium was not suitable for watching football but has changed his mind following suggestions that retractable seating could be built over the athletics track.

In a new statement released at the weekend, Mr Hearn attacked West Ham and called on Olympic legacy bosses to take him seriously.

He said: "West Ham's statement last week which referred to my 'ever-changing position' is patronising to say the least.

"A major club moving on to our doorstep would undoubtedly damage us."

He added: "I am glad West Ham think we are providing them with a constant source of amusement - we are a small community club with 130 years of history fighting to stay in business and they need to understand that we shall continue to challenge any decision that places the future of our football club in doubt.




"We deserve proper consideration and respect."

Mr Hearn said he is due to meet and discuss his proposals with Olympic legacy bosses, who will make the final decision on who runs the stadium after the Games.

He added that fans will be fully consulted on any possible changes.

A deal on who will run the stadium post-Games is expected to be signed in October.

West Ham eyeing move for Charlton defender





West Ham are poised to make a move for Charlton defender Chris Solly.

Sam Allardyce is looking to bolster his defence and has been impressed with the performances of Solly, who was voted Charlton's player of the year last season.

With Julien Faubert leaving the club during the summer, Allardyce wants to sign another right sided player and give his side every chance of staying in the top-light.

Solly, 21, played a major role in helping Charlton gain promotion into the Championship and the south London club will want a sizeable sum to part with their star defender.

Big-haired Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini, 24, could be on his way out of Goodison Park after admitting: "I want to play in the Champions League or in the Europa League. Last season we finished seventh with Everton, and we were not able to qualify for Europe, which was a shame."

Follow The Sun on Twitter

Aquilani joined from Roma for £20m in August 2009 but had a nightmare at the Kop.

Injuries kept him out until October that year and, after failing to impress. the 27-year-old was loaned out to Juventus and then Milan.

QPR believe they have won the race to sign England keeper Rob Green.

Rangers hope to snap up the 32-year-old on a free transfer from West Ham within the next 10 days.

West Brom are also in the hunt for the stopper, who will not pen a new Hammers deal despite the club’s promotion.

Green was on the bench for last night’s 1-1 draw with France at Euro 2012.

The pair coached together at both West Ham and Liverpool.

CSKA Moscow will offer Russian hotshot Alan Dzagoev a new deal following a Euro 2012 masterclass.

Dzagoev, 21, has come to the attention of Europe’s top clubs after netting twice in Russia’s 4-1 opening Group A victory over the Czech Republic.

Manchester United and Arsenal are among those interested in the attacking midfielder.

MARK ROBINS is a shock candidate to replace Chris Hughton as Birmingham boss.

The former Barnsley manager, 42, is on a Blues short-list along with Mick McCarthy, Gary Megson, Paul Ince and Lee Clark.

Robins quit as Tykes chief 13 months ago after a bust-up over having his budget slashed.

CELTIC have joined the chase for Colchester’s Magnus Okuonghae.

The out-of-contract Nigerian centre-back is a target for a host of Championship outfits, such as Blackburn, Bolton and Charlton.

But the prospect of playing in the Champions League with Scottish champions Celtic could see the U’s skipper, 26, opt for a free transfer to Parkhead.

HUDDERSFIELD boss Simon Grayson wants to sign Sean Morrison.

The 6ft 4in centre-back was key to the Terriers’ push for promotion from League One after joining on loan from Reading in January.

SCUNTHORPE want free agent Jon Parkin after the striker’s Cardiff contract was cancelled by mutual consent.

Parkin, 30, nicknamed The Beast due to his burly frame, scored six in a 14-game loan to help the Iron to League One safety last season.

Really? I thought the reason Green was leaving was because he wanted more money not less.

Thanks anyway CH

Leyton Orient's average gate is just over 4000. Can you imagine them playing at the OS even if they double their gate. :lol:

Share the stadium - share the cost. Doubt if Mr Hearn would be able to stretch to the amount required for retractable seating.

That Mr Hearn is why we are all laughing.

I don't believe it's quoted anywhere that he wants to leave for more money, that is pure assumption based on folks not not being able to think of another reason.

No it isn't. Green has said numerous times in the past he doesn't think h eis on enough money compared to some of his team mates.

So it's not pure assumption then? It's merely using Green's quotes as evidence.
